I suppose if you're using that around town then sure - I'd consider that more of a scooter than a motorcycle. Maybe its just me but I find anything below a 600cc to be a death trap on a highway. A friend bought a 250cc Kawi from Brampton and I rode it back to Peterborough for him as he didn't...

I've always hated the "well just...don't speed..." argument. Under that logic every vehicle on the road should have a speed limiter that reacts at about 130km/h. The fact that we have cars and motorcycles that can easily hit well over 200 km/h is kind of ridiculous if it's theoretically never...

Not all the time. Just because I want to ride a Hayabusa, or a Kawi H2 doesn't mean Im looking to ride it to the pin all day every single day. Also doesn't mean I have a death wish. The fact my bike has 4x the insurance premium as a Suzuki B King that has the same 1300cc engine, but is...

It was a few years back now... maybe 10 or so, but I remember a post in the rides hookup section about a bunch of spirited riders all getting together to ride the 507. Had like 20 - 30 people all geared to go from the GTA, only to find out when they got there the OPP were all setup and waiting...

Well, with full coverage Im looking at $4200. If 2 years of insurance costs more than the price of my motorcycle I feel we have a fuckin problem. Unless they want to buy me a new motorcycle every 2 years because I drove like a saint then I say the premium is bogus.

Agreed. Im more angry at the fact I was quoted $874 for the year from this broker. Asked her again if she is sure she tells me yes, VIN and everything checks out. I figured it was too good to be true, but.....OK sign all the paperwork - buy the bike, get it registered to wake up this morning to...

Yea I called them - they want the M but no one is doing road tests due to COVID....sooo.....screw me I guess. Called around all day. Allstate, Riders Choice, Personal, Standard and the best quote I got was from Desjardin for $2700 a year. Pretty insane for a mature rider with an M2 and a clean...

Nah starts with an A lol. It's a 2010 Hayabusa. Been riding for awhile. Had my M2 years ago and let it lapse. Went and got it again 3 years ago and got the newish bike. Crazy how insurance is changed. Even when I bought my R6 with an M1 just 12 years ago I was paying like $50 a month. Then a...

I guess she did. Not sure how when I gave the VIN number and everything and we went back and fourth for over a month. Insurance in Ontario is such a joke.

I went ahead with Wawanesa cause they gave me a good motorcycle quote. I bought the motorcycle, was issued a temporary insurance card and transferred the motorcycle over in my name. Now I got an email saying they dont insure sport bikes and they are severely hiking up my insurance costs and...

Not much you can do honestly. If people are going to race that area they already dont have any care for the local law enforcement. And if the police want to give chase they are probably going to run just putting more in danger.

Have an idea what the general price was when you used them? I know with Uship and Shiply the prices are good if they are going same way, they can cut up to 70% or so off the general transfer fee.

I checked out the Uship website which says the average quote to trailer it from Alberta to my home town is around $350.

Just a 2010 Hayabusa with no kms. It's the black edition which is something I had my eye on. It's funny you say that lol. I just recently bought a 2008 Busa from Manitoba. It went down in a parking lot and just had damage to the cowling, which is just lots of money when getting OEM stuff from...

Thought about that as well, just not too keen on jumping on a new bike and hammering out 15 hours on it, plus having to be weather conscious. Furthermore I'm not sure about switching ownership in Alberta - I'm not sure if they will grant me a travel plate back to Ontario. Just figured its...

To go into more detail I dont have a trailer, and looking to rent one is around $600+ for that distance. Some of the shipping estimates are cheaper than that and it takes that frustration out of my day. Also I'm stopping for a few days in Saskatchewan on the way back and would rather not drag...

Terrible to hear. I havent seen Jamie in years but always had fun talks and joked a lot with him. I'll miss chirping his Home Depot manager riding jacket RIP Flash King

Just wondering what the best company is to ship with for getting a motorcycle across Canada. I'm looking to buy a bike in Alberta and want it shipped to Ontario. I'm going to drive out and check the bike out and do all the necessary paperwork, but as for getting it home I'd rather get it shipped...

Yea I don't remember the last time I saw a ZX1400 to be honest. Hell, I don't even see the 'busa very much out on the open stretches either - you see them more at the local boring Tim Horton meetups than anything which is such a waste. And when the hell are you bringing that Ducati up north here...

Ive ridden the Busa for over a decade now and maybe Im the only one looking forward too this iteration. Yes, the price is pretty steep - but thats thanks for all the ECU's gadgets that I personally won't ever use. I think it looks beautiful - slimmed down to look more like a sport bike rather...
